Ironically, it still could not too long from now!

Also the Texas GOP leadership has been a fucking TRIP, even before the election. Remember the way they were talking when they were trying to throw out all those drive through votes, like, 54 years ago it feels like?

Texas is arguable a heavily R leaning battleground state, not impossible to flip, but if you go by just the way the GOP there talks you'd think it was literally the deepest R state in the country.

So let me check the most upvoted comments on the Supreme Court decision:

War it is.

We kill now

Low scale asymmetrical warfare.

God Damn It.
BUCKLE THE FUCK UP.
HERE WE GO.

I still have hope these idiots are just LARPing from their mom's basement, but I guess we'll find out over the next couple of weeks.

This was the first election since...forever (I forget the exact time) where Texas wasn't the state with the largest Republican vote differential (in terms of number of votes not percentage). That was Tennessee. So it is definitely getting closer but I just don't have faith it'll get close enough any time soon.

Yeah, even this year Texas was still about 10 points more Republican than the country as a whole. Even if the demographic changes there going the same way, it's not going to be a real swing state until at least the 2030s.

Never forget those justices were handpicked by McConnell and the Federalist Society. They told him theyll help him out picking the best - only to make sure theyll pick those that will betray him.
Time to go to war with the Republican Party.

No. With the Uniparty. Time to go to war with the Uniparty.

Yes, but the republicans need to know their betrayal will never be forgotten. By 2022 they need to be a minority third party and by 2024 defunct as an organization

Unless we start our own MAGA party, I'm done voting forever. I will not participate in a rigged election, and I will not give my vote to some spineless republican. Fuck them all.

Yup. I only voted Republican because of Trump. My suspicions of them as being corrupt spineless cowards has always been correct. At least the democrats have the balls to stab me in the chest instead of my back.

t's INSANE. Many of these contested states have REPUBLICAN majorities in their legislatures. They had the power all along to stop this, and they haven't done jack shit. They held hearings to give the appearance of caring, but in the end, they all cucked out like the spineless, traitorous cowards they are. It looks like the uniparty is reality. What's the point in voting when they're all the same?

Yeah that's where I am too.

Like, I think it is a good chance nothing happens. But I'm not 100% sure and the rhetoric there is absolutely nuts right now. Just hoping they are the manchildren I think they are and are just venting. What happened in Michigan though makes me less certain. And, like you said, there are at least some I'm not 100% sure on which is too many to just ignore it completely.

how
Because I have seen countless times on forums outrage that the FDA was not authorizing the vaccine faster. That while the data needs looked at that they could fly over the next day and get it approved. That the EU has already approved it and potentially any day delay is possibly more deaths and spread that there needs to be.

I feel this is criticism that is only happening because Trump is saying it (and because Trump threatened the job over it). I feel a vast majority of people do support authorizing the vaccine without delay. They have already voted on supporting the vaccine's merit after all.

It can be simultaneously be true that they probably should have moved faster and that it was extremely inappropriate for Trump to order the decision (which is supposed to be based on the FDA's scientific review of the vaccine's safety and efficacy), thus undermining public trust in a decision they were going to make anyway like 12 hours later.

Let's look at it this way Corrik.

9AM 12/12, CDC approves the vaccine!

vs

9PM 12/11, CDC approves the vaccine under threat.

Not only are most people asleep during that time frame, but there is no reasonable difference between them on an even playing field.

Which one inspires more confidence?

Maybe he didn't know their plans to authorize it at that time.

I would find it incomprehensible to believe the President both A) didn't know that information to begin with and B) went as far as issuing the threat without first seeking any relevant details.

But then I remember that it's Trump who is a special kind of incompetent who does not realize the extent of the damage his actions cause.

I am an idiot and didn't even think of that! It has been so long since I played the game it didn't even enter my mind that it needed a tag. Good call man, good call.

I really should go back and play the second game. I for some reason stopped after the first trial and never got back to it.

Let me just omit that part and say:

I haven't been able to stop visiting TheDonald today. Like, this level of despair is nourishing me to an unhealthy level.

i always love the complete lack of self-reflection these people have. "wait, trump turned out to be a selfish clown and not the godlike hero i was making him out to be? I COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE FORESEEN THIS."

at least ann coulter called herself a "very stupid girl" for having written a book about how great trump is. (i think she immediately went back to defending him after that but still.)
